So I asked my friends regarding their opinions and impressions about bitcoin and their answers made me laugh. One of my friends answered:
"Bitcoin? Bitcoin is used for transactions in deepwebs to buy drugs!"
So they think that bitcoin = deepwebs. So they stay away from bitcoin thinking it was illegal
Another one:
"Its just a waste of time. You will not earn from it"
And when you give him proof that bitcoin is valuable they'll be like "omg teach me how!!" Lol
And lastly,
"Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a scam"
So yea they think bitcoin is fraud and a scam.
It's so funny to think that people who don't have knowledge about bitcoin automatically thinks that bitcoin is a scam because of the issues regarding bitcoin scamming. So yeah.
If there is anything we should be being part of the bitcoin community, is that we need to be understanding of people's opinion and views regarding bitcoin.
Did you know that 6 to 7 years ago, doing a google search on bitcoin would lead you to search results that are marked with "fraud" and "volatility". But as the years roll by and more and more details became known of bitcoin, the description and search results started focusing on what bitcoin really is.
Sadly, the initial misconception got stuck as scams started sprouting one after the other, scams that were carried out by those who took advantage of how little the general public knew about bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole.
So i suggest, understand a little more, i'm sure they will all come around soon.
